FWIW, MarkupSafe is deliberately incompatible with Python 3.2: the maintainer is stonewalling a trivial pull request restoring compatibility to leverage its users to drop 3.2 and adopt 3.3: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/markupsafe/pull/13 For my money, that zeroes out any "best of breed" stamp it might otherwise have.

(Leaving aside my joke at Mac users' expense) I reach for lxml the minute I need anything more than triple-quoted strings and percent format variables to generate XML (or when I do *any* parsing at all). It truly *is* best-of-breed in this space, sitting atop libxml2 / libxslt which are the definiitive open source libraries for XML. Again, YMMV.
